You Know better there is actually no better time to regroup, refocus and to start thinking about 2017.
What are your goals for the coming year? For many people, these goals include financial motivations. If you want to finally get wealthy in 2017, here are five ways you can actually do it.
1. Work for your dreams, not someone else’s.
If you really want to start making money and finally be wealthy in 2017 then you need to do something that you are truly passionate about. Without this passion, you are never going to reach your full earning potential. Focus on doing what you love and what you are passionate about, not just something that happens to be in a highly paid field.
Really ask yourself and dig deep to think about what you can see yourself becoming obsessed with. Obsession is the key to true success and it can lead you to real wealth. As real, lasting wealth is not just about money.

2. Dream big but start small.
Everyone wants big success fast but it’s better to go slowly. Optimize your process first before you try to go big. Take my top student, Tim as an example. He started stock trading with just $1,500, grew it to $1 million in three years and then over $3.3 million in four years. He bets bigger now that he is more confident, thanks to his early education. He is one of my favorite examples of starting small and working your way up slowly to something much more.

3. Give to others instead of yourself.
Most people find this tough to do, but trust me, you can only have so many Lamborghinis and Ferraris and Porsches. Trust me, as someone who has had all three, they are not as fulfilling as giving back to charities, such as my Timothy Sykes Foundation is infinitely more rewarding and fulfilling. Remember that true wealth is not just about having the most money, but the most inner peace too. You will truly feel successful, established and wealthy if you start giving to others.

4. Get healthy.
I know it sounds a little corny, but it is actually true: health is wealth. You can have all of the money in the world, but if you are sick, or dead, you can’t enjoy it. As much as you work and as hard as you work, don’t forget to focus on your health, your body and your mental well-being.

5. Learn online.
We live in such an exciting time, where the world centers around the internet. It is a time where you have unprecedented access to a wealth of information. Thanks to the internet you don’t need fancy degrees, connections or inherited wealth. Everything you need to learn is online with video lessons and free guides, as well as vast educational resources like the Entrepreneur Library. People always ask me where I learned about stock trading. It was all online.
I wish I had a mentor to help speed up my education, but I didn’t. This is why it is my goal to be the mentor to others that I never had. In summation, if you want wealth and success in the year 2017, you need to study and prepare and start with your online education, it is only the beginning of your success, but it will set a strong foundation for your future.
These five steps can go a long way in helping any individual be wealthier in the year 2017. The new year is right NOW , so don’t waste this opportunity to have a more secure financial future for yourself.

THE SECRET TO ATTRACT
MONEY NOW! THE HOW:
SETTING EFFECTIVE GOALS
You can have all the money you want as soon as
you realize it's not needed to be happy. "
— JOE VITALE
NOW THAT YOU HAVE asked yourself what you want, and
investigated some possibilities for generating revenue, how do you
go about it? It's the details that people get hung up on and can allow
your fears to balloon to the point that you don't take any action at
all. There's a great deal of trepidation about whether you should even
try to attract money when the economy is in a slump. Of course you
should. What better time is there? A down economy offers openings
and opportunities that just don't exist when things are booming.
For example, Hyatt opened its first hotel at Los Angeles Airport
(LAX) in the late 1950s. The US was going through a major recession
at the time. Hyatt now has over 365 hotels in 25 countries. Burger
King and IHOP also began during the same recession.
One of the major recessions that I experienced myself in the early
1970s spawned both Lexis-Nexis, the web-based research hub, and
FedEx. The 2001 recession saw the debut of Wikipedia and Internet
giants Google and PayPal. They thrived during this time. Don't allow
the media's negativity or the opinions of others to convince you to
wait for a better time. There is no better time other than now. And if
you never start, you'll never reap the benefits.
In order to get from a vague idea of what you want to accomplish,
you have to set clear goals, and then break those goals into doable
steps. While this takes time to outline, it will keep you moving forward
toward your goal and allow you to see when you get distracted or fall
off the intended path. Some find goal setting a tedious process and it's
powerful. It forces you to refine every nuance of what you're doing
124 https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/instantly-ageless
The Secret to Attract Money Now! The How: Setting Effective Goals
and where you're going. Each path is an active choice and clear goals
make those choices easy. I also find goals to be motivating. You have
to push yourself. And I know that without really strong goals I tend to
slack off and do what's easy - rather than striving for more.
It intrigues me that almost every high achieving individual,
whether an entrepreneur, CEO, or professional athlete, takes the time
to make daily, weekly, monthly, yearly and multi-year goals. If all the
people at the top are doing it, it makes sense that those wanting to
attract money into their lives would do it without question. Still few of
them do. There's no way to maintain your long-term vision as well as
short-term motivation without setting and then tracking your goals.
By setting clear and well-defined goals, you can evaluate your
progress and take pride in your accomplishments. You can confirm
that you're making progress, though it might seem like you're not
moving much. Achieving written goals also allows you to look back
and see how far you've come.
SETTING EFFECTIVE COALS
You may have an idea for a business and you may have an idea
of what you want to accomplish with your additional revenue stream.
And that's great! Until you have those ideas defined and organized,
you won't have a clear direction.
There are good goals and not-so-good goals. There are certain
elements that good goals have in common. Good goals are:
Clear and Specifically Defined - In order to be as effective as
possible, your goals must be clearly defined. This means that instead
of saying, "I want more money," you write "I want to attract an
additional $500 per month within six months." You want something
that you can really Nevillize and attach to emotionally. It's like
watching a fuzzy video. You can't really get involved at this point as
it is unclear. Technically, $ 10 is "more money" yet that amount likely
will not really make a difference in your life. Always be specific and
focus on that goal.
Achievable in a Given Time Frame - It's important that you
put a deadline on your goals. Otherwise, they just remain wishes.
'Someday' is not a time frame! You want to set a deadline that is
reasonable and challenging. A time frame with a deadline gives you
self-imposed deadlines that move you forward, so you're consistently
https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/finiti 125
ATTRACT MONEY NOWl
making progress. A goal without a deadline puts no pressure on you
to accomplish it. There's also no way to measure your progress. For
example, if you set a goal to run a marathon, but you don't choose a
marathon to run in, or a date for its completion, why bother training
for it?
Commitment to Steady Progress - This means discipline. That
can really trip you up. You want to set small tasks each day that get
you closer to your goal and then commit to doing that task. This is
progress. If you decide you want to write a book but then don't commit
to disciplined, steady progress, time passes and you still haven't
completed the book. This is why you see someone at the family reunion
who wanted to write a book 20 years ago, but is still 'working on it.'
In fact, the problem is that they've never really committed to working
on it. Don't kid yourself that you can set a goal, Nevillize it every day
and make no progress. Accomplishment requires action - so don't let
yourself off the hook. Start it, take inspired action and get it done.
Align your short and long-term goals - This is one I still
constantly remind myself of. It's easy to get excited and say, "I want
to write books, do seminars, be a speaker, travel, have an Internet
business, and anything else." Having too many unfocused goals leads
you in too many different directions, causing you to spread yourself
too thin. You only have 24 hours each day, so you must focus on a few
goals at a time, and then gradually add others. Be sure the daily tasks
you undertake are working toward something and not just keeping
you busy. For example, if you want to start an Internet business and
run around meeting with graphic designers and consultants, but never
really decide what product or service you are going to sell, then this is
just busy work that isn't getting you anywhere. Decide what the goals
are before you take inspired action or you will take part in meaningless
activity that gets you nowhere.
Flexibility - Your goals have to be flexible. There will be times you
completely underestimate the amount of time it takes to accomplish
something. When that happens, you have to be able to decelerate
the timeline and still make good progress. Conversely, there will be
times you set a six-month goal and suddenly it gets done in six weeks!
That is great! At these times you want to accelerate your goals. Keep
pushing yourself.
126 https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/reserve
The Secret to Attract Money Now! The How: Setting Effective Goals
Please never confuse goals and tasks. Goals are the big targets and
tasks are the stepping stones to accomplishing your goals. For example,
if your goal is to develop a set of workout DVDs, then checking out
production costs quotes with three different companies may be a task.
Doing small tasks toward your goal each day is important because it
gives you a sense of control and accomplishment.
Also, be sure that all the small tasks are working toward the goal.
It's easy to seem busy and not get anywhere. Write down each activity
you perform and evaluate it on a weekly basis. You'll see if you're
spending too much time on things that are not important.
PRIORITIZING YOUR COALS
You are only one person, with big dreams and only so much time
each day. How do you decide which goals are the most important and
which ones should be put on hold? There is an effective, easy way to
sort your goals and decide which ones go where on your priority list.
Write a list of your top 30 goals. Yes, 30 is a lot for some people. But in
order to get to the good ones, you have to write them all down.
Once you have 30, go through them and take out the 10 that are
the least important. Set those aside and put them in Group 3. Now
look at the 20 you have left and remove the 10 that are the next least
important. They are Group 2. Now you're down to 10 goals - the ones
you believe are the most important. These are Group 1 goals.
The way to prioritize these 10 is to take a few minutes, close your
eyes and focus on each goal one-by-one. Which goal produces the
biggest emotional connection? It goes first. Go down the list and rank
them in the order of your emotional connection, with the deepest
emotional connection at the top and the weakest at the bottom.
These are the 10 goals you should be working on. You may
be glancing over at some of your Group 2 or Group 3 goals and be
tempted to start on them. You're likely tempted, because they are
easier or faster to accomplish. They would take away time that you
need to accomplish tasks toward the goals most important to you.
Anytime you question which goal or project needs to take
precedence, just stop for a few minutes and ask yourself which one
has the strongest positive emotional connection. This will give you
the answer. Then it's your responsibility to take inspired action on it.

LONG TERM AND SHORT TERM COALS
Everyone needs both short and long-term goals. The long-term
goals are your overall objectives and usually have a time line of five years
or more. Short-term goals align with those long-term goals - meaning
that they play a part in getting to that big overall goal but they have
a much shorter time line. Usually six months to a year. Tasks are the
weekly or daily steps you take to accomplish your short-term goals.
You may be wondering, "Why not just make the big long-term
goals and do away with all these short-term goals?" Individuals
perform better with regular and consistent reinforcement. As you
track your progress, and see how many short-term goals you've
accomplished, it makes the long-term goals seem that much closer
and easier to reach.
Long-term goals have a very important function as well. In
addition to giving you an overall direction, they also provide a focal
point when times get hard or you suffer setbacks. Focusing on the long-
term goal and being able to see the big picture, can get you through
those times when it would be easy to quit. It allows you to see your
situation as temporary and gives you the will to search for solutions.
As you overcome each difficulty it builds the confidence you'll need to
push on toward that long-term goal.
Now comes the fun part. You get to put the short and long-term
goals together to get the best results. Let me give you a couple of
examples to illustrate this.
MARK - THE MATH TEACHER
Mark teaches math at a local high school. Eventually he wants to
create a home-based learning system for kids that will improve their
math skills. He wants to earn more money and become financially free so
he can quit his regular teaching job and tutor those kids who need help.
When Mark imagines these goals, he has the most emotional connection
to financial freedom. So for Mark, his goals might look like this:
Long-term Goal: Replace income and quit job.
A. Short-term Goals Related to Long-Term Goal
1. Start Tutoring
2. Create Math Home Study Courses
1. Weekly tasks related to short-term goal
1. Post notices on school billboards advertising math
tutoring services
128 https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/our-team
The Secret to Attract Money Now! The How: Setting Effective Goals
2. Speak with teachers and school counselors one-
on-one and let them know Mark is offering math
tutoring
2. Weekly tasks related to short-term goal
1. Define age groups that will be benefit from
home study
2. List content for curriculum
You can see how the long-term and short-term goals are
interrelated. They're not separate but support each other. Now let's
look at another example.
LYDIA - THE YOGA INSTRUCTOR
Lydia has a successful yoga studio. She feels she has a winning
formula that can be resold as a franchise and duplicated across the
country. Lydia wants to increase her public profile and position herself
as an expert, so she can increase the value of her brand as well as the
franchise.
Long-term Goal: Have a national franchise of yoga studios across
the country.
A. Short-term Goals Related to Long-term Goal
1. Write a book positioning Lydia as a yoga expert
2. Create beginner, intermediate and advanced DVDs
to sell via infomercials, allowing her to make her yoga
brand a household name
1. Weekly tasks related to the short-term goal
1. Consult with a writer and organize information
into an outline
2. Set aside a minimum of 45 minutes a day, three
times per week to create content
2. Weekly tasks related to the short-term goal
1. Investigate production costs for DVDs
2. Determine the applicable routines to produce for
the beginner DVD
People spend hours, days and even weeks getting hung up on
trying to figure out how to get started achieving their dreams. It's
really logical. If you use the information in this chapter, you'll have a
https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/our-story 129
ATTRACT MONEY NOWl
very easy, workable plan without hours or days of tedious indecision.
Decide what you need to do and then start doing it.
I find the goal setting process to be very motivating. In order to
sustain that motivation, you have to select goals that are within your
realm of control and a realistic timetable. What does this mean? Let's
say you decide that you want to make a million dollars and have your
own reality show within a year. While you may be able to accomplish
both of these goals in the long term - attempting to complete them
within a year may be unrealistic. You have to have certain skills to
accomplish both of these goals.
Just like it's unrealistic to think you can lose 50 pounds in a
month and keep it off over the long term - it's also unrealistic to think
you can make one million dollars in a year in an Internet business
without any experience. You have to put in the time and effort to
learn the business and it will pay off for you in the end.
Planning and thinking about your goals is never a waste of your
time. After all, knowing what not to do is almost as important as
knowing what to do. By doing your homework, and learning from
experienced mentors, you'll avoid the pitfalls and mistakes of others.
Every setback you avoid is time saved toward achieving your long-
term goal.
Many obstacles may get in your way as you strive to reach your
goals. That's called Life. But by studying where you want to go and
how you're going to get there, you'll have a clear path which will help
you avoid problems.
The flip side of setting unrealistic goals is to set goals that are
too low. Something that is easily attainable, but does not qualify as
a goal. Don't underestimate yourself or discount your skills. You'll
become bored with a goal too easy to reach. You'll lose interest. You
need something that engages you and challenges you.
Pick goals that challenge you professionally, mentally and even
spiritually. Go for ideas that make you stretch your possibilities and
require a high level of creativity and energy. You'll never achieve great
things without pushing yourself. Goals that don't push you, move
you sideways, not forward. They don't get you out of your comfort
zone or force you to learn new and difficult lessons. It takes two key
factors to reach any goal, seriousness and flexibility.
Being serious about a goal means that you take the necessary
steps, whatever those may be, to achieve it. You're giving yourself
self-imposed deadlines for specific tasks and evaluating your own
130 https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/lifestyle-rewards
The Secret to Attract Money Now! The How: Setting Effective Goals
progress. Then you develop the next set of strategic tasks to move
forward. The first step, if you're serious, is to write down your goal.
The second step is to announce it publicly. This may seem like you're
giving those around you the opportunity to ridicule you in advance.
And some may. By first writing your goal down and then announcing
it, it provides additional motivation, since you know people will be
asking about your progress. This gives you accountability to yourself,
as well as others.
You've probably heard people close to you announce their plans.
How did they do it? Did they say, "I'm going to lose 50 pounds and
run a 10K by this time next year," or did they say something like,
"After the holidays I'm going to lose weight and then I'll be able to do
what I want?"
If you heard someone make the first statement, you would
assume they're serious and committed to their goals. However,
if you heard the second statement, you'd wonder how serious they
were, or if this is just a hope of theirs that they don't really plan to
work toward. This person, instead of setting a goal and being willing
to work hard to get what they want, is content to just wish and
get nowhere. Procrastination is not your friend. If you're thinking
that you will start working toward your goals after the holidays,
on your birthday, or after such and such happens, you are just
deluding yourself. Every day you wait is a day wasted. You don't get
it back and you don't get to try again. The day is gone forever. So
get busy!
The second key factor to reaching your goal is flexibility. This
does not mean giving yourself a break and being lazy. This means
using creativity to overcome obstacles and listening to feedback. This
will help you fine tune your goals as you go. You must have the ability
to step back on a regular basis (I recommend at least monthly) and
evaluate your progress. What worked? What didn't? What changes are
you going to make in your strategy and task list next month?
Goal planning involves risk. That could mean risking a wrong
move, bad decision or even a major setback. It also means that you
must be adaptable to changing circumstances. You must still juggle
work, family and bills in addition to striving toward your long-term
goals. There are times when certain goals will take a backseat to others,
but all of these instances give you the opportunity to be creative, and
perhaps even come up with another opportunity that fits into your
long-term goals.
https://soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com/en-SG/financial-rewards 131
ATTRACT MONEY NOWl
Feedback is important because no matter how well you've
researched or planned, there may be some areas that you've overlooked
or are unaware of. You may also lose your perspective from time to
time and be unable to correctly assess your own efforts. At those times
a wise or experienced friend or family member can help you get back
on track.
Mentors and mastermind partners who are aware of your goals
will also be able to offer encouragement. Talk to them about where
you are on the path to your goals, what progress you've made and
what problems you've encountered. They may be able to offer you
some good suggestions or solutions. And always consider using a
coach, maybe one from my own Miracles Coaching program.
There are times when you have doubts and these can be
compounded by family and friends who may be telling you everything
you can't do and discouraging you from moving forward. You have
to remember to focus on your plan. This means not letting negative
emotions get the best of you to the point you 'try to prove everyone
wrong.' While harsh comments may motivate you to strive toward
your goal, they may also lead you into the pit of self-sabotage. When
you allow others to affect your plan, you may try to accelerate it to
prove something. You can end up with less than you started.
You must guard yourself against this kind of reaction. Stick to
your plan and avoid the traps. Keep your avenues open to receiving
everything available. Build on what you have. Learn from each lesson
as you make consistent progress. One of Newton's laws of physics is
that 'An object in motion stays in motion, while an object at rest stays
at rest.' The same is true for the human mind. If you feel in control and
like you're making progress, then it is easier to keep going. However,
if you feel out of control and come to a stop, then it takes even more
effort to get going again.
Nobody navigates this perfectly. That's okay. You don't need to
be perfect, just committed to having an open heart to receive and
you'll be given what you need to make your dreams comes true. Keep
your awareness open so you can see the changes you need to make
and take inspired action to make them. Wealthy people know that
goals can be changed as new information comes in. Be flexible while
keeping your eye on the prize.
Remember, the super bonus secret to attract money
now is to have goals that inspire you and thrill you.

{STEP 5}
NEVILLIZE YOUR GOALS
You have brains in your head, you have feet in
your shoes, you can steer yourself in
any direction you choose. - DR. SEUSS
"Spirit is substance which forms itself according
to your demands, and must have a pattern from
which to work. A pan of dough is as willing to be
formed into bread as biscuit. It makes as little
difference to Spirit what we demand."
—Frances Larimer Warner, Our Invisible
Supply: Part One, 1907
In order to get where you want to go in life, you
must be able to visualize the results. In several of
my books, particularly The AW actor Factor, I
write about the concept, "Nevillizing" your goals.
It's a word my friend David Garfinkel coined to
explain an amazing process for attracting
whatever you want - even money.
"Neville" refers to Neville Goddard, a famous
mystical writer. I've collected his books and even
have autographed editions signed with his
message, which is, "Assumption hardens into
fact."
He believed that if you're trying to attract money
or anything else in your life, you don't just say,
"I want money. I'm going to attract money. I now
have money." You don't say any of those
affirmations. What you do is go to the end result
and imagine what it would be like to have
those things in your life right now. The process
of 'Nevillizing' is the fifth step to attracting
money into your life.
Let me explain this to you.
It's important to focus and get emotionally
involved with your goals. Let's say that you want
to attract $250,000 in the next 12 months. This
is a big goal for many people. When you sit and
imagine what your life will be like, focus on the
details. What bills will you get to pay? Think
about sitting at your desk or kitchen table and
physically writing the checks to pay them off.
How does it feel? Put a stamp on the envelope
and pop it in the mailbox. Are you smiling?
Feeling proud of your accomplishment? Let
those feelings and emotions consume you.
Now imagine what will change in your life.
Would you live in a different home? If so,
spend some time thinking about what it
www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com 75
ATTRACT MONEY NOW!
would be like to drive up to that house and know
that you live there. Would you take an exotic
vacation to the Caribbean? If so, imagine all the
places you would visit. Imagine the beautiful
ocean waves and the sand through your toes.
What does it feel like to gaze across the beautiful
shore and know that your success gives you the
freedom to be here? This type of emotional
connection to getting what you want is what I
mean when I say to "Nevillize" your goal.
Use this technique for every single goal you want
to accomplish. Now you may be wondering about
all those people who tell you to do positive
affirmations. These affirmations do put you in a
positive frame of mind. But when it comes to
actually achieving your goals, you will have
much more success if you make that emotional
connection in your mind, where you can feel,
hear and experience what it will be like to
actually have what you are striving for. Positive
affirmations can keep you focused and on track.
And once you experience something in your
mind, you have created a big shift in belief. But
saying something doesn't necessarily change your
underlying beliefs, but experiencing it - even if it
is only in your mind - allows your subconscious
mind to believe it is possible.
Did you know that your subconscious mind can't
tell what's real from what's imagined? If you
don't believe me, watch a really scary movie!
You body will respond to the idea of physical
danger and send adrenaline flowing through
your body. This will make your blood pressure
rise and your heart pound. Your subconscious
mind prepares you for a flight or fight response,
even though your conscious mind knows it's just
a movie. Well it's obvious that if the subconscious
mind responds this way to fear, it will also
respond in the same manner to good events - such
as you attracting $250,000 this year. If you create
that emotional connection, the mind reacts as if
it's real. If your mind can scare you out of your
wits at a movie, it also can convince you that
you will attract $250,000 this year.
PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
You may be just like I used to be. You won't
believe it until you test it out. So, test it. Imagine
that you will attract a specific amount of money
over the next 30 days. It may be $1000, $2000,
$5000 - whatever you feel is reasonable for you.
You don't know where it will come from, but you
know it's coming.
You must be very clear that it will happen and
that it will be a specific amount. Now close your
eyes and imagine opening your
76 www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com
Step 5: Nevillize Your Goals
mail and finding a check for exactly the amount
you want. Feel that excitement, amazement and
joy? Imagine running into your house and telling
your spouse, children, and friends how you
attracted the money.
One of my Texas seminar attendees was intrigued
by this idea, but skeptical. Who wouldn't be? She
understood the concept, but wasn't sure it would
work for her. So I asked what amount she'd like
to receive in the next 30 days. She wanted to do
some small home repairs and paint one of the
rooms in her house,and it was going to cost $750.
So we sat with our eyes closed, and went through
a vision of what the room would look like
completed, as well as how she would show it off
to friends. We also visualized how fantastic she
would feel as she attracted the money seemingly
out of thin air. She went on her way and about
four weeks later I received an email.
Two weeks after the seminar, out of nowhere, she
received a $602 refund from her insurance
company. A couple weeks later, she received a
$150 rebate on a television she'd bought the
previous Christmas - more than 10 months
earlier. This totaled $752 in just 30 days. Some
would say that these things would have happened
anyway, but would they? When was the last time
you got a refund out of the blue on your
insurance? And that rebate should have been paid
months earlier - why now? There's a simple
reason for all this - she learned how to attract it.
Keep in mind that it's your responsibility to act
when a source of money is attracted to you. It
doesn't always arrive as a check - it may be
something that you can sell, or an opportunity
to earn something additional.
I received a letter from a gentleman who wanted
to find a way to earn $1000 prior to the
Christmas holidays. He was on a fixed income
and wanted to visit his grandchildren. He used
this technique to Nevillize his goal of $1000.
Not long after, a neighbor lady was helping him
clean out a spare bedroom when they ran across
a flute that his daughter had played in school
more than 40 years earlier. The daughter didn't
want it back, but offered to put it on eBay for
him and see what he could get. It turns out the
flute was solid silver and brought in more than
$732.
A few weeks later, an administrator at the local
community college (who knew this man was an
avid hobby photographer) called and asked if he
would be interested in teaching a leisure studies
course on photography for seniors. He
immediately said yes and learned that it

paid $325 for the semester. Because he was open
to new opportunities, he received more than his
$1,000 from selling the flute and teaching a
class. So don't have preconceived notions about
how the money will arrive or you will cut off the
flow before it even starts flowing. Just be open
to receive it and you will attract it.
EXPAND YOUR VISION
Once you understand how powerful this
technique is, you'll naturally begin to expand it
to every area in your life. If you want to create a
new and exciting business, then visualize your
new office space, think about how your bank
balance will grow, and imagine your day
speaking to clients, customers and employees
who are helping you to achieve your dreams.
How will it feel to sit in your office and see
what you've created? Allow those feelings to
flow through you. You feel pride, gratitude and
the sweet taste of success.
Many people marvel at how this works.In reality,
it's not hard to understand. You are telling your
mind to pay attention to the avenues and
opportunities that will help you meet these goals.
Does this mean these opportunities don't exist?
No. It just means your mind filters them out
because you haven't told it that these
opportunities are important. Remember when we
discussed the fact that the minute you buy a
certain color car, it seems like everyone else has
that same color? Once you buy a certain color
car, your mind moves that color car up the
'important' list and you suddenly notice them
everywhere, all around you.
This is exactly how the mind works when you're
attracting opportunities. You're telling yourself
that these opportunities are important so it should
sit up and take notice. That's how it worked for
the man who sold the flute. That instrument had
sat in his closet for 40 years.
This is what happens when you start thinking
about those opportunities. If you set your goal at
$250,000, or whatever amount, and have no clue
how it will happen, then you must allow your
mind to help you work on it.
I frequently speak to people who are convinced
that all the good opportunities are taken. When
I tell them that there is no end to the creative
possibilities, I usually get a blank stare.
I like to spend some time everyday reading
inspirational personal and business stories. Not
only do these increase the positive feelings
78 www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com
Step 5: Nevillize Your Goals
that help me attract more money into my life -
they also get the creative juices flowing for the
possibilities.
I have always liked the story of Starbucks. If
you'd have told me back in the 1970s that one
day a $4 cup of coffee would be the cultural
norm, I would have told you that you were crazy!
Of course I would have said the same thing about
cell phones - but that's another story.
Howard Schultz is the man responsible for
making the $4 cup of coffee a way of life. He
was originally a coffee maker salesman and one
of his best customers was Starbucks and Co. in
Seattle. At that time the company sold
coffeemakers, beans and other items, but did not
sell cups of coffee in their stores. He fell in love
with Starbuck's way of doing business and had a
vision that premium coffee by the cup was the
wave of the future. He wanted to work for
Starbucks and they said no.But Howard held onto
his vision and pestered them for a full year until
they finally agreed to hire him as their director of
marketing in 1982. One quote that I love from
Schultz is, "Life is a series of near misses. But a
lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all.
It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility
for our future."
Schultz had a vision of people sitting in a coffee
shop sipping fabulous brews and enjoying life,
just as he'd seen on a trip to Italy. The company
resisted his idea and soon he quit to start his own
coffee shop. It was wildly successful and in 1982
he bought the original Starbucks for $3.8 million.
Today, Starbucks is a multi-billion-dollar
business. And it's all because Howard Schultz
visualized this idea of a little neighborhood
coffee shop where people could enjoy great
coffee. It was a really simple idea when you think
about it. He persisted and focused on his dream.
When obstacles appeared, new doors opened to
get around them.
YOUR ACTION PLAN
The first step in Nevillizing your goal is to ask
yourself what you want. This sounds easy, but
isn't for many people. What you want may
change as you go along. But for now, decide
what the overall plan is. Now I've met many
people. Some were highly educated and, having
completed their schooling, and started their
careers. Most found themselves in a career they
hate! It happens, but you have to be willing to let
go of what others expect of you, or the guilt of
considering how much time you've spent on your
current path, and ask, "What do I really want?"

Some people immediately know what they would
like to have in their lives and they can instantly
start to Nevillize that idea. But what if you ask
yourself what you really want and get a big fat
blank?
I recently heard about a young mom from North
Carolina, named Karen. She was in this
predicament. She was married with a young
daughter. Though she'd been trained in criminal
justice, she quickly found the prisons and courts
to be very negative and depressing places to
work. When her daughter was born she had the
opportunity to stay home and be a full-time mom.
At that point, she decided to figure out what she
really wanted to do with her life. She'd worked as
a temp in many jobs, including one doing
background checks. She knew she liked office
jobs, but wanted the flexibility of staying home
and raising her daughter. She just couldn't find
anything she really wanted to do.
One day while watching an afternoon talk show,
Karen saw a couple whose nanny abused their
child. It turned out the nanny had a long criminal
record. Karen was appalled as her daughter was
about the same age and she couldn't imagine
hiring someone to watch her child without doing
a full background check. This sparked an
inspiration. Karen wanted to save other parents'
children from the same fate these people had
suffered. And she wanted to do it from her
basement. The next day she got her hometown
paper and looked at the ads placed by parents
seeking nannies and babysitters. She called
them and offered her services. Several of them
jumped at it. Her business was born and has
continued to grow.
That was 15 years ago. Karen was recently
named one of the top 10 business women in
North Carolina and has even appeared on Oprah's
talk show. Karen was patient and kept searching
for what she wanted, so when that little spark of
inspiration happened, she was ready. She is
passionate about her work and that enables her
great success.
If you ask yourself what you want and don't get
an answer, continue asking. Think about the
parameters you want, just like Karen did. And
before you know it, that spark of inspiration will
appear in your life. Don't forget to act when the
inspiration comes. It may be when you least
expect it.
Also, keep in mind that you can turn any
complaint into a want. In other words, if you are
saying, "I don't want to be broke," then the
opposite of that complaint is your want, "I want
to have money." You can work through this
process with any complaint you have. As
80 www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com
Step 5: Nevillize Your Goals
I described in my book, The Attractor Factor ,
your complaints are the springboard to creating
your intentions.
Another lesson we can learn from Howard
Schultz is to dream big. He once said, "I'd
encourage very one to dream big, lay your
foundations well, absorb information like a
sponge, and not be afraid to defy conventional
wisdom. Just because it hasn't been done before
doesn't mean you shouldn't try it."
VISION MAPPING
I encourage everyone to have a Vision Map. This
is a tool that helps you constantly keep your
vision in front of you. You may have a bulletin
board, a notebook, or one of the new vision board
software programs that you can download on the
Internet. Whatever method you use, they all have
the same function. Your Vision Map will have
your goals in writing - but that's not enough. You
must have a visual tool as well. For example, if
you're planning to build your dream home, you
should cut out pictures of homes you want and
put those on your Vision Map. Then display it in
a prominent location, where you can see it every
day.
This may feel a little weird at first but it
accomplishes several real points. The most
important of these is to help you Nevillize what
you want. If you are forced to find a picture of
what you want, it makes you be very specific and
it also allows your mind to easily grasp and
imagine the reality of it. It's not just a blurry,
half-formed idea, it's a concrete full color
rendition of how your life will be.
When you picture your financial success, don't
just include photos of piles of money. Insert
pictures of how your life will be. Will you drive
a Mercedes and live in a three-story house? Put
those pictures in. Where will you vacation?
Europe? Japan? Australia? Add those as well.
Now here is where your limiting beliefs may start
shouting again. You may say, "I'm not talented
enough to succeed at that level." But you are. In
fact you can increase your talent just as easily as
you attract money into your life.
I recently read Daniel Coyle's excellent book
The Talent Code. The premise of the book is to
explain anomalies that produce massive amounts
of talent. He notes that there are certain places
that have a specific mix of training, motivation,
and coaching that produce exceptionally talented
people. This finding means that talent isn't
necessarily something we're born with. It's
something we can create!

The ideas in this book inspired me tremendously
and also helped explain some strange events in
my own life. For example, back in 1969 I failed
high school geometry. I couldn't tell a parallelo-
gram from an isosceles triangle. I had to retake
the course the following year, but this time I got
an "A." How did I go from an "F" to an "A?" The
answer was that I had a different teacher who
intuitively knew the best way to help me learn.
This teacher, Mr. Ron Posey, had me follow a
strict process. He was extremely specific, all the
way down to using a particular notebook, putting
protectors around the three holes in the pages,
handwriting meticulously, and much more. It
drove some students nuts, but it helped me get
straight As. According to Coyle, that second
instructor was a brilliant coach intuitively using
The Talent Code's secrets.
Back in 1972, when I learned how to fly a single-
engine plane, I went through a 10-week course.
It was the hardest thing I'd ever done. I either
flew a plane everyday or was in ground school
studying everyday for five days a week, all day
long. I thought the curriculum was intense. It
wasn't until I read The Talent Code that I realized
Kent State University's flight school was teaching
me exactly the way I needed to learn - by
stretching me beyond what I thought was doable.
But how does all of this work to increase talent?
What were my geometry teacher and that flight
school doing to turn a below average kid into a
straight A student and a licensed private pilot?
The Talent Code explains the three things needed
to increase talent and go toward greatness. One
essential element is the spark of inspiration.
Something has to ignite your desire, much like
viewing that afternoon talk show about an abused
child sparked Karen's inspiration to start a
business doing nanny background checks.
This spark of inspiration happened to me in 1970
when I met Rod Serling, creator of the famous sci
-fi TV series, The Twilight Zone. I had always put
authors up on a pedestal, but I realized Serling
was human and if he could be a famous writer,
then I could too. I put myself through a self-
study program that contained over 10,000 hours
of writing, reading,writing and even more reading.
My writings were rejected for years,and yet I
tried again and again (and again and again) to be
published. My first book wasn't published until
1984. The spark of inspiration was Rod Serling.
This "spark" is what begins a huge, deep trans-
formation. It's the way to start unlocking talent.
It's interesting that Malcolm Gladwell's book,
Outliers, confirms this amount of time as key in
becoming successful. There is something
82 www.soongworld.jeunesseglobal.com
Step 5: Nevillize Your Goals
magical about the 10,000-hour mark that pushes a
person from trying to being successful. The
amount of practice is the second key ingredient.
You can't expect to jump right into success and
be able to handle it. You must practice in order
to increase your ability and expand in a
knowledgeable, sustainable way. Bill Gates didn't
jump right into the chairman's seat at Microsoft.
He started in his dorm room. Leading up to that
point in time, he had also spent untold hours
writing code for his vision of a user-friendly
computer operating system. He had no magic
abilities whatsoever. He created that talent by
spending thousands of hours practicing.
The third ingredient is to have a great coach. In
the spring of 2009, I took private tutoring lessons
with Berlitz instructors to learn Spanish, for a
speaking engagement in Lima, Peru. While I had
books, courses, and CDs on how to speak Spanish
- there's nothing like having a personal coach
there to guide my learning. When I failed
geometry the first time, but excelled at it the
second time, it was due to a better coach. I
learned to pilot a plane in a short amount of
time, due to great teachers. These days I have my
own " Joe Vitale's Miracles Coaching Program "
for people wanting to improve or breakthrough
their own barriers. I know from personal
experience that a strong coach is needed for
success and accomplishment. In fact, it's a
requirement.
The great news is that you can develop any
talent you want with a combination of these
three elements. So don't allow your old beliefs to
stand in your way of dreaming big dreams. Just
because you may not have the knowledge and
skills right now does not mean that you can't
attain them in the future. As the subtitle of The
Talent Code states, "Greatness isn't born. It's
grown." So don't ignore that spark of inspiration
or the desire of your heart.
Remember,the fifth step is to Nevillize your goal.
Want to be financially free forever? Well, what
would that feel like? Imagine you're already
there. Soak up the good feelings. That's the fifth
step and a proven way to program your mind to
attract money now.
But we have another two steps to go...

STEP 5: NEVILLIZE YOUR GOALS
TRUTHS & TAKE AWAYS
The process of 'Nevillizing' your goal is the fifth
step to attracting money.
When it comes to achieving your goals, you will
have greater success if you make the emotional
connections in your mind, where you can feel,
hear and experience what it will be like to
actually have what you're striving for.
It's your responsibility to act when a source of
money is attracted to you.
Once you understand how powerful Nevillizing
is, you'll naturally begin to expand it into every
area of your life.
If you ask yourself what you want and don't get
an answer, continue asking.
Turn your complaints into wants.
You can't expect to jump right into success and
be able to handle it. You must practice in order
to increase your ability, and to expand in a
knowledgeable and sustainable way.
